PC Adapter USB A2

Description of the device 1
1.1 Properties of the PC Adapter USB A2
The PC Adapter USB A2 can be operated on USB V1.1, V2.0 or V3.0 interfaces. The PC
Adapter USB A2 supports the common energy-saving modes (for example hibernate mode).

The PC Adapter USB A2 has the following connectors and displays:
MPl/DP interface
USB interface

1.5 Power supply
The PC Adapter USB A2 is supplied with power via the USB cable.
The PC Adapter USB A2 has electrical isolation between its MPI/DP and USB interface
within a safety extra low voltage (SELV) circuit. It can therefore also be operated directly on
ungrounded S7/M7/C7 systems.

systems:
Windows 7
Windows Server 2008 R2
Windows XP Professional SP2 or higher
Windows XP Home SP2 or higher
Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition
Windows Vista
and
a SIMATIC software package that accesses using MPI communication (for example
STEP 7)
To operate the PC Adapter USB A2 on a PPI network, you also require
the software package STEP 7 Micro/Win32.
2.2 Installing the driver
Requirements for installation

Note
Software requirements
A SIMATIC product (for example STEP 7) must already be installed on your PC before you
install the driver.

Procedure
The installation starts automatically after inserting the CD.
If this function is disabled, follow the steps below:
1. Insert the "PC Adapter USB A2 - Driver Disk" in the CD-ROM drive.
2. Open the main directory on this drive.
3. Start the setup program by clicking on the "setup.exe" file.

PC Adapter USB A2
The setup program guides you through the entire installation. Note the information on the
installation and use of the PC Adapter USB A2 in the readme file that you will find in the
main directory on the CD.

3 Hardware installation
3.1 Hardware requirements
You require a PC with a USB interface (USB 1.1, 2.0 or 3.0) and a CD/DVD-ROM drive.
3.2 Connecting the PC Adapter USB A2
Connecting to the PC
1. Insert the supplied USB cable in a USB interface of your PC.
2. Insert the other end of the USB cable into the USB interface of the PC Adapter USB A2.
Connecting to the automation system
1. Insert the supplied MPI cable into the PC Adapter USB A2 and screw it tight.
2. Connect the other end of the MPI cable to the MPI/PG interface of your CPU and screw it
tight.
Note

The PC Adapter USB A2 and the S7/M7/C7 system each represent a network node.
In networks made up of 2 nodes (PC Adapter USB A2 and S7/M7/C7 system), the PC
Adapter USB A2 is operated directly on the socket of the S7/M7/C7 system.
In networks made up of more than 2 nodes, the PC Adapter USB A2 is connected to
the "PG socket" of a PROFIBUS connector (SINEC L2 bus connector). This does not
require any change to the setting of the terminating resistors.
A maximum of 32 nodes can be connected to a PROFIBUS network segment. Several
network segments can be connected together using PROFIBUS repeaters to create a
complet network with a maximum of 127 nodes. The transmission speed in the PROFIBUS
network is a maximum of 12 Mbps.
The PC Adapter USB A2 supports transmission speeds up to maximum of 12 Mbps.

NOTICE
Do not insert any extension cords
No extension cord may be inserted in the connection between the PC Adapter USB A2 and
S7/M7/C7 system.
